Maybe this shitslurry of a deal will stain the platform with enough GOP stink that even the most brainrotted kids will leave it behind for less foul smelling alternatives

They won’t, they’re addicted (I say this as a sporadic TT user). Look at how shit FB has gotten, yet people still hang around.
The only positive for TT for me personally was that the bot problem wasn’t as bad on it compared to other social media. I bet that will change pretty quickly.

I think Xitter is the better example. It had a very sharp worsening as a platform, and yet, somehow, still remains very relevant.

Didn’t over half the real users leave? Feels like it’s basically a handful of nazis, many nazi bots, and a few media people for businesses.

I have no idea how it feels there or what the real or honest user percentage is like. Subjectively occasionally I still see xitter. Maybe my impression of importance and use as a source for press/media is outdated.
Still, it seems to remain very relevant in some areas and circles, like vtubing, Japan, Ukraine, and Russia.
I assume it’s the same for other areas. The recent reporting about artist outcry and leaving xitter because of their AI remixing is another indication that is still significantly popular, apparently.
Whether it’s 50% bots or not - if we assume the other half to be real and honest users that’s still a lot and relevant.
